This compound has been thoroughly tested andprovedwto be a specific for the cure of diphtheria. v I take seven ounces of gunpowder, three ounces of alum, two' ounces sulphur, one ounce of Epsom salts, and one ounce of rhubarb, all of which I pulverize thoroughly and mix well together, and it is-ready' for use for the purpose specified above. I

The medicine, thus compounded, is tobe administered to'adults in doses of one tea-spoonful of the mixture in two table-spoonfuls of pure vinegar, the dose to be repeated at short intervals, as the case may require. The dose for infantswill be proportionately less. v I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- The 'medicine compounded as above described. substantially as and for the purpose specified.
